CBT Motorcycle Training - The U - Turn

Demonstrating a U - Turn performed on a Honda CBF 125 machine. I cover the major aspects involving clutch, throttle and rear brake control and any do's and don't's that I feel are applicable to the U - Turn.

Thank you for this video, today I did my CBT and passed ^_^ So happy. I did the U-Turn in one go ^_^ Very happy and at the minute its still not sunk in fully but so happy :)

@TheDragonHeart666 Congrats on passing the CBT! I bet it wasn't half as bad as you thought it was going to be? I wonder how many others on the day didn't manage the U-Turn as well as you? You did of course have the advantage of no gears though ;-)

@elkfazer1 Hi again, I've been studying/watching youtube videos and vloggers lately in preparing for sending off for my CBT. I've got no real way of riding a bike beforehand... just wondering if there's any key tips you would advise of so hopefully I could pass the training first time. I should be getting a 4-stroke bike Yamaha yzf r125 afterwards.

But anyways, your videos are really helpful, I appreciate it.

@JazReviews Tips wise, all I can say is to listen to the instructor and follow what he says ;-) seriously, it's quite easy getting through the CBT and if you have any issues with any element of the CBT then the instructor that's training you will sort it out before you actually get on the road.Other than that, just keep as calm and collected as possible and enjoy the experience. Good luck with it and give us your thought on the YZF when you ride it :-) Cheers!

Thanks for a great video.I am doing my CBT on Saturday on a scooter but Iam guessing its basically then same just a little different cause of the gears, clutch etc. I trying to mentally prepare as much as I can, wasn't given alot of time but if I pass I be a happy bunny ^_^

[elkfazer1]

@TheDragonHeart666 Yep, it's roughly the same minus all the hassle of gear changing and clutch control, it should be pretty straightforward and you can have a laugh at the other guys stalling their bikes all the time ;-) Good luck with it on Saturday too!

@elkfazer1 Thank you ^_^ I had one person with me who was a redo for his CBT, he done it in 2 tries. Tbh it wasn't as bad as I though no lol. After getting in the swing of it I was calm. The person I had turn and asked if I have ever been on a scooter, I haven't before but he said I was really good and done very well :). True but thats the next thing after a month or 2 on the road, I be going to gears and then later my full licence :) thats my plan for this year :) and riding is so much fun ^_^

@elkfazer1 Thank you :)

Good point, about the laughing. I was going to be brave and do it on a geared, but I have never done a geared before.So I thought Scooter for now and I go for more training for a geared later as I do plan one day to go full licence :)

Thank you again ^_^ The day draws closers lol

@sorryunlucky I'd bypass the 50cc route if you're getting a geared version, not worth the hassle of having a geared 50cc to be honest, far better to have a twist and go scooter instead.

As for the emergency stop, try not to put too much pressure on the rear brake and you'll be fine.

[sorryunlucky]

I'm doing a CBT test in 4-5 months on a 50CC what kind of advice could you give me?

I've rode geared bikes off road, but that doesn't compare to the road.

I need most advice on the emergency stop...
